She clapped her hands at sight of him. "You are come back," she cried; "and you have so fine a gown on too. But Maud Lindesay says it is very wrong to be out of doors so late, even if you are Earl of Douglas, and a great man now. Will you never play at 'Catch-as-catch-can' with David and me any more?" "Margaret," said the young Earl, "what do you away from your chamber at all?
We have been living a good deal 'catch-as-catch-can," and he smiled upon her. "Give Janice a list of the things you need, and she will go to Harriman's for you in the morning." "No. I prefer to do my own marketing, always. A child like Janice thank you Janice, for the potatoes can scarcely be expected to use judgment in the selection of provisions.
It was no laffin' matter, for I knowed if I didn't drive the brute off in a jiffy Old-pot-head's son would be a comin' out of his trance mighty sudden an' that meant a catch-as-catch-can with a great, big, crazy black bear. "As good luck would have it, the next time I threw a stone, it landed on the tip of the bear's snout, an' with a snarl he comes for me.
"Meanwhile," said Ruth, "come and be dried before you catch your death of cold." She gathered William Bannister into her lap. "I pity any germ that tries to play catch-as-catch-can with that infant," remarked Kirk. "He'd simply flatten it out in a round. Did you ever see such a chest on a kid of that age?" It was after the installation of Whiskers at the studio that the diminution of Mrs.
"You're easy," jeered the Iron Man, whose name they had learned was Pete Bideaux. "I can put you down myself, catch-as-catch-can." Billy accepted the challenge, and found in all truth that the other was rightly nicknamed.
And there were present the Garulies, and the Joblilies, and the Pickaninnies, and the Great Panjandrum himself, with his little, round button-at-the-top; and they all fell to playing the game of 'Catch-as-catch-can, till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots." Now you see where the Garulies and the Joblilies and the Pickaninnies came from.

"We're not well matched," observed Hiram, quietly, "and whether you thrashed me, or I thrashed you, nothing would be proved by it in regard to the line fence." "I'll show you what I can prove!" cried Pete, and rushed for him. In a catch-as-catch-can wrestle Pete Dickerson might have been able to overturn Hiram Strong. But the latter did not propose to give the long-armed youth that advantage.
It got to be so that Warde was almost afraid to touch the bell, for he never knew whether the amazing François would enter through the door or come down from the ceiling. After the company had done its worst to "Richelieu," it changed to Shakespearean repertoire, and for one year young Fairbanks engaged in what Mr. Warde was pleased to term a "catch-as-catch-can bout with the immortal Bard."
I don't know whether it will raise the dead, but I've always doubted the story that Egypt kissed the cold lips of her Roman Antony have suspected it would have brought me back to life and love had I been dead a month.
